Today we should be in Denver for our oldest daughter and son-in-law's baby shower, that our youngest daughter was hosting with a little help from both sets of grandparents-to-be. But as with all events, the shower had to be cancelled.
We are so thankful that everyone is safe and healthy, and at the same time, sad that we are not all together, celebrating our first grand child. We miss seeing all of our family and friends that we would be reuniting with today, and yet we realize how truly blessed we are!
Since our kids are in the military, and should have been moving very soon, they did their shower registry on-line, requesting that everyone, please not bring gifts to the shower, but allow them to order the gifts when they are settled into their new home so they wouldn't have to move them.
Now, they are not moving because of the pandemic, but everyone has been so generous, ordering from their on-line registry and showering our sweet grandson with gifts from afar.
Our kids are all set up for the arrival of their son, still unsure of when they will be moving, but thankful to be ready to bring him home when he decides it's time.
Their current condo isn't big so they have dedicated a corner of their room to him and his itty bitty things.
We could not be more grateful to all of our friends and family for their generosity during such a tough time. We wish we could see you all and thank you in person over a great meal and a glass of wine or a beer, but please know how much we appreciate every one of you. We hope we can see you all soon!!!
